Ahkmenrah X

2014 - New York City

Present Day of the Hayden Planetarium Grand Opening

Adjusting his collar, Ahkmenrah placed his hands over each other and stood in front of the glass case - using the case containing weapons as a mirror. It was just a few last-minute touch-ups, trying to make sure that every part of his outfit seemed immaculate.

"Are you all set?"

He spun round to his back to find the voice calling out to him. Kai Winterson ambled towards him, a black device in his hand as well as a clipboard. Attached on his ear was a thin curved device, with a dot at the end. They were called microphones apparently, which enabled people to talk through from the other end of the device.

The young man was around his mid-twenties, perhaps a couple of years older than what Ahkmenrah was since his death. Kai's slick black hair and cutting black suit fitted him, matching to the shiny shoes he wore.

It was strange how men dressed in the modern-day for formal occasions. There was no jewellery nor any gold attached to their clothing, apart from the buttons on their sleeves and perhaps studs on the lobe of their ears. Ahkmenrah himself was wearing something similar to the Night Programme assistant.

He had worn something similar before a few years back. But this time it was a black suit, with a white sleeved shirt. He disliked the bowtie despite Larry insisting to put it on for the occasion.

And the shoes.

Socks were such an oddity when he first wore them, and they still made his feet feel weird after taking them off. Ahkmenrah understood well about Image, and it would not do him and the museum well if he turned up and wore his normal attire around the dinner when he wasn't 'performing' for the guests.

His hair was tamed, though glad it wasn't fully slicked back like Kai's. He loved the natural curls his hair made (one thing Rowen mentioned one time when they were initially friends, which then also kickstarted his growing infatuation with the woman).

One thing he did found himself appealed to was the added gold cufflinks and buttons on his jacket, embellished with the symbol of the Ankh and Wadjet symbols. When he fiddled with them on, he would smile at the - remembering who had given it to him.

"Indeed Kai, though it would seem I will just be there as a guest." Ahkmenrah answered, and adding: "Well I assume so, according to Larry."

Kai nodded and replied, "Ah okay. Awesome then. I'll see you down at the planetarium." He stepped backwards, preparing to leave the corridor. Kai asked with slight hesitation, "Oh and...have you seen Calli?"

From the light, he quickly spotted his face turn a bit pink. Ahkmenrah refrained from smirking as he noticed the young man. "Not that I'm aware of. Have you not tried the Greek Exhibit?" He asked him.

Making a noise of agreement, Kai replied. "Yes, and she wasn't there-"

At that moment, a woman in a white chiton glided into the corridor. Her blonde hair was draped in loose long waves, decorated by a violet strand of ribbon woven over the top of her head. The chiton had a peplos over it, pinned with golden brooches. On her feet, she wore leather sandals similar to what Ahkmenrah wore normally, the dark brown contrasting her blonde hair and grey eyes.
